Sean Doherty

Sean Doherty brings 20
years of collegiate coaching experience, including 12 years at the
Division I level, into his eighth season as an assistant
coach on Tom Moore's staff. Doherty's vast coaching experience
has produced seven NCAA Tournament appearances, three respectively
within the Division I and Division III ranks and another at DII,
while recruiting countless all-conference players over the years.
Prior to Quinnipiac, he served as the head coach at Salem
State (Mass.) College for four years.

Doherty started his coaching career
at Worcester (Mass.) State as an assistant to Tom Moore in 1993
after concluding a solid four-year playing career at WSC. Doherty
later served as an assistant coach with two tradition-rich DI
programs, the College of the Holy Cross (1999-2003) and Western
Kentucky (2003).

The Worcester, Mass. native took
Salem State to new heights over the course of his four seasons. The
Vikings posted a 91-20 mark (.820) during that stretch and reached
the NCAA Division III tournament three times. In 2006-07, Doherty
led Salem State to a 24-3 mark and the Massachusetts State College
Athletic Conference (MASCAC) regular-season and tournament titles.
The Vikings also recorded a 17-game winning streak during the
course of the campaign and went a perfect 12-0 in league play
during the regular season. In all, Salem State recorded a sparkling
49-4 record (.925) in MASCAC play during Doherty's four seasons and
also went undefeated in league play in 2004. He was named Coach of
the Year in the MASCAC in the 2003-04 and 2006-07
seasons.

Doherty took over the Salem State
job in October 2003 after serving as an assistant coach at Western
Kentucky under head coach Darrin Horn. While with the Hilltoppers,
he helped sign four players who eventually helped WKU reach the
NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 in 2007-08.

Before joining the Hilltoppers
staff, Doherty served under the legendary Ralph Willard at Holy
Cross. He was an assistant coach in his first two seasons before
being promoted to associate head coach for his final two seasons.
Over the course of his four-year stint, Holy Cross reached the NCAA
tournament three times.

The Crusaders also won at least 20
games twice, won two Patriot League regular-season titles, ranked
second in the nation in field-goal percentage defense, and finished
second in the nation in rebounding margin and fourth in scoring
defense. His best year with Holy Cross was the 2002-03 season, when
the team earned a 26-5 overall mark and went 13-1 in Patriot League
play. Doherty recruited and aided in the development of four
Patriot League Most Valuable Players, as well as numerous other
all-league players.

Prior to coaching at Holy Cross,
Doherty served as a top assistant at Division II powerhouse
Assumption College (Mass.). Under Head Coach Serge DeBari from
1994-99, the Greyhounds captured the 1997-98 Northeast-10
Conference League and Playoff Championship. Assumption was 23-10
overall and qualified for the 1998 NCAA Division II
Tournament.

During Doherty's tenure with
Assumption, he helped guide the Greyhounds to the largest
turnaround in school history as the team improved its win total by
22 games while going from 1-23 in his first season to 23-10 just
three seasons later. He recruited numerous all-league players at
Assumption. A 1987 graduate of Burncoat High School, Doherty was
inducted into the Burncoat Hall of Fame in 2003.

Doherty was a four-year
letter-winner and solid point guard at Worcester State College
before graduating in 1992. He also received a master's degree in
education from Assumption College in 1998.

Sean and his wife, Jennifer, are the
parents of three children: Ryan, Ethan and Addison.
